Shivam Dube really jinxed it. The Chennai Super Kings The all-rounder has recorded his second consecutive duck after being selected in India’s 15-member squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
It seems like the trend of performing poorly after being selected for the T20 World Cup has become a trend. During Chennai’s ongoing first leg clash against the Punjab kings In Dharamshala, Shivam Dube left the crease for a first-ball duck. He met the same fate as in the previous game against Punjab.
4 days ago in Chepauk it was Harpreet Brar who caught his leg before the wicket and today another leg-spinner Rahul Chahar got rid of Shivam Dube. Chahar bowled a Delivered with wings, full and out, flying off the deck.
Shivam Dube was left behind and tried to free his arms but ended up getting a thin outside edge which Jitesh Sharma caught sharply behind the stumps.
If he goes to USA and West Indies in the T20 World Cup with the same form, it would be very bad news for Team India. Eventually, he was entrusted with a key role in the middle order, which is why Rinku Singh was left out of the squad by the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Before these two golden ducks, Shivam Dube had done well for the Chennai Super Kings. He scored 350 runs from 11 matches at a strike rate of 170.73 with an average of 40+ and a top score of 66*. He also amassed three half-centuries along the way.
To his yet another poor performance, here are some of the best X reactions:

Shivam Dube had to play in place of Hardik Pandya and not play like him.
